Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The distance that MSA people transported lithic raw material from its source to their living sites represents a way of measuring the breadth of their movement across the landscape. From the 47 MSA localities in southern Africa entered into the ROAD database, we selected 142 well-documented assemblages from 12 localities and grouped them into four main cultural phases: Pre-Still Bay (Pre-SB) dating before 80 ka; Still Bay (SB) from 77-70 ka; Howieson’s Poort (HP) from 65-59 ka; and post-Howieson’s Poort (Post-HP) from 59-30 ka. We classified raw materials into three groups that reflect local (0-5 km), regional (6-20 km) and supra-regional (21-100 km) circulation patterns. Local raw materials dominate in all time periods, with the HP showing the highest frequency. This result contrasts with previous studies suggesting that the HP was a time of increased range. Instead, we observe that the earlier periods, pre-SB and SB, show a greater range of movement, as reflected in the raw material transport distances.
